Just finished reading Superior: The Return of Race Science by Angela Saini; a superbly researched and written book that had me thoroughly gripped. Highly recommended!
Congratulations and kudos to Phil for twenty years of blogging!
Here he describes what it was like online in the year 2000. Yes, it was very different to today, but…
Anyone who thinks blogging died at some point in the past twenty years presumably just lost interest themselves, because there have always been plenty of blogs to read. Some slow down, some die, new ones appear. It’s as easy as it’s ever been to write and read blogs.
Though Phil does note:
Some of the posts I read were very personal in a way that’s less common now, in general. … Even “personal” websites (like mine) often have an awareness about them, about what’s being shared, the impression it gives to strangers, presenting a public face, maybe a feeling of, “I’m just writing personal nonsense but, why, yes, I am available for hire”.
Maybe that’s why I’m enjoying Robin’s writing so much.

The Ballad Of Halo Jones is 35 years old this year.
Where did she go? Out.
What did she do? Everything.
The Apache server for adactio.com went down, and I didn’t notice for half a day because my service worker script kept everything ticking along nicely.
(The server is back up and running now.)
